Mechanisms and Components
Depth filtration
Depth filtration is used as
coarse, clarifying, fine filtration
as well as for microbe reduc-
tion and microbe removal. It
is particularly suitable for the
effective and safe separation
of colloidal haze, very fine
particles, and microorganisms.
Depth filters also can be used
effectively as prefilters for
efficient membrane protection.
Another area of application for
depth filter sheets or support
sheets is the recovery of valu-
able substances or as support
material for precoat filtration.

Components
Very pure, finely fibrillated cel-
lulose fibers form the matrix
of the BECO depth filter
sheets. The characteristic se-
lective properties of the depth
filter sheets are achieved in
combination with the effects
of the min eral components
(e.g., diatomaceous earth).
In Eaton‘s innovative
BECOPAD® depth filter sheet's
range, high-purity celluloses
form a unique structure, which
even for superfine filtration
does not require mineral com-
ponents.
Mechanisms
The depth filtration mecha-
nisms are both of a mechani-
cal and an adsorp tive nature.
Particles are mechanically
retained in the asymmetric
hollow space struc ture of the
depth filter medium (gradu-
ally decreasing pore structure
toward the outlet side).
Particles significantly smaller
than the pores of the depth
filter medium are retained
through adsorption. This is due
to the positive zeta potential
(electrokinetic potential), which
retains negatively charged parti-
cles through adsorption.
BECO depth filter sheets
Eaton offers the right depth
filter sheet for a wide range of
fil tra tion applications and for
any clarifying level from coarse
filtration to microbe removal.
Our basic aim is to pro vide
high-quality customer prod ucts
through optimum depth filter
sheets, thus contributing to
the cost effectiveness of the
process.

BECO Depth Filter Sheets for various Filtration Tasks
BECOPAD range
Premium mineral-free
depth filter media
BECOPAD depth filter media
are mineral-free and used
for a wide range of applica-
tions from coarse filtration to
microbe removal. It is char-
acterized by an unparalleled
purity giving rise to much
lower values for extractable
ions and organoleptic quality
affecting substances. The new
filter media provides excellent
filtration quality, maximizes
filtration throughput and has
a significantly high chemical
resistance.
BECO standard range
Depth filter sheets for
standard applications
There is a broad standard range
within the different depth
filter sheets. Numerous grades
covering a wide retention
range enable precise adaptation
to each respective filtration
task. BECO depth filter sheet's
standard range is used for
particle removal, removal of
colloids, and for the removal of
microorgan isms.

Depth filtration removes im-
purities and undesired particles
from foods and beverages
to enhance the natural flavor.
BECO filter sheets can be
adapted exactly to every filtra-
tion task and every production
process.
The clear trend worldwide
continues to be towards cold-
sterile filtered draft and bottled
beer. Gentle beer production
without heat treatment thus
requires a fully developed and
reliable filtration technology.
Beer-contaminating microor-
ganisms are removed while
simultaneously retaining the
brightness of the beer and im-
proving the chemical-physical
stability.
Great importance is attached
to microbiological safety when
depth filtration is used in the
area of wine production.
the organism with vital vita-
mins, minerals, and secondary
plant matter. BECO depth filter
sheets enhance the natural
task of fruit and vegetable
juices and stabilize the product
without destroying valuable
components.
Water is not only a natural
food but also the basis of most
beverages. For this reason, the
production of mineral water,
table water, and product
water as well as industrial
water places particularly high
demands on filtration tech-
nology. Particular emphasis
is placed on reliable particle
separation. BECO depth filter
sheets assure safe and reliable
filtration.
There are multitudes of pos-
sible filtration applications in
the food industry in which
BECO depth filter sheets play
BECO depth filter sheets
reliably separate coarse and
fine haze substances and offer
excellent colloid retention rates
while simultaneously preserv-
ing beneficial ingredients with
low color retention.
Gentle treatment of flavor
and color plays a particularly
important role in the filtration
of spirits. In addition to reliable
separation of fine colloidal and
coarsely dispersed haze sub-
stances, the aim of filtration
includes selective separation
of haze-producing long-chain
fatty acid esters. BECO depth
filter sheets with a low calcium
and magnesium ion content as
well as high fusel and essential
oil absorbing capacity are used
in particular for this purpose.
Refreshing and tasty fruit
juices are part of a healthy and
well-balanced diet. They supply
a major role. Filtration pro-
cesses are typically used in the
production of gelatin, liquid
sugar and invert sugar syrup,
glucose, dextrose, extracts,
essences, enzyme solutions,
and rennin. Filtration is espe-
cially important, for example,
in the production of edible oils
where top priority is placed
on retaining taste, vitamins,
and the fatty acid composi-
tion while removing haze and
mucilaginous substances.
Areas of Application
11
In the chemical industry an
important task is the removal
of residues and contamination
from raw, intermediate, or
finished products. Varnishes,
paints, silicone products,
synthetic resins, softeners,
pesticides, abrasives, waxes,
and industrial oils offer a wide
range of applications. In these
manufacturing processes the
depth filter sheet often has to
offer above-average chemical
resistance against aggressive
solvents, strong acids, and
caustic solutions at demand ing
temperatures as well as high
dirt holding capacity.
In fine and specialty chem-
istry a frequent task is the
removal of un desired contami-
nation and waste pro ducts from
previous process steps or the
separation of valuable metallic
catalysts, activated carbon pow-
der, or filter aids. An applica-

aroma substances, resins and
terpenes, creams, shampoos
and lotions, face and hair ton-
ics, skin and bath oils.
In the production of thera-
peutic proteins from blood
plasma (e.g., albumin, immu-
noglobulin, clotting factors)
the main function of the depth
filter medium is the economi-
cal and reliable separation of
precipitates. In addition, the
production process involves
numerous clarification and
fine filtration steps aimed at
removing contaminants, such
as endotoxins and protecting
downstream systems from
premature blocking.
In fermentative production
pro cesses, filtration in down-
stream processing is a very
important process step. The
BECO depth filter sheet has
tion example from antibiotics
production is the adsorptive
separation of decolorization
via sheets containing activated
carbon.
High dirt holding capacity and
microbe reduction with simul-
taneous preservation of active
ingredients plays an important
role in the production of active
ingredients of plant origin,
which are used in the cosmet-
ics and perfume sector and
in the production of natural
remedies and aromas.
In the cosmetics industry an
important task is the removal
of particulate contamination
and substances that can lead
to undesired hazing and precipi-
tation in the finished prod uct.
This is ensured through the
applica tion of depth filter
sheets in the processing of
essential oils, alcohol-based
the task of reliably removing
cells and cell fragments from
fermenter broth. Typical ap-
plication examples include
production pro cesses for in-
dustrial enzymes used in the
food and detergent industries,
for special enzymes used in
diagnostics, or for active bio-
pharma ceutical ingredients.
In the production of pharma-
ceutical precursor, intermedi-
ate, and finished products,
depth filtration is required
for protecting downstream
membrane filters, ultrafilters,
chroma tography columns, and
cross-flow equipment.
